Me, Myself & AI

In this project, I trained an AI on my own image — curious to see what it would reflect back. The results were both fascinating and unsettling.

Despite using unfiltered, age-representative photos, the AI consistently idealized me: younger, smoother, curvier — and almost always with a larger bust, regardless of input.

What emerges is a subtle yet telling distortion, shaped by biased data and the male gaze. The AI reshaped me to fit a patriarchal ideal, revealing how deeply gendered beauty standards are embedded in these systems.
